I “give” on this one. I thought about it all morning and I’ve determined why seeing postings like this bothers me so much.
It reminds me of my own mortality. I took what I call my “law of opposites” and figured it out like this. If I was a young man of 21, 31, 41 etc would this issue bother me? The answer is “no.” But since I’m well beyond 21, I don’t want to be reminded that one day I will be the one being listed somewhere!
You spend your whole life getting good at what you do (music) and when you finally get there……boom…..you’re gone. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it is. So the best thing I can do for myself is avoid seeing references to death and dying and dead. And when I do see them, remind myself NOT to emotionalize!

Not to worry FIRST you have to reach the heights of a Freddy Hubbard or Eartha Kitt before you show up in a forum obit.
